What's curious: when somebody - Romans, Arabs, Turks...- conquers the land of the Jews, the world does not say a word and seems quite content. But when Jews re-conquer their land back, the world all of a sudden starts talking about the "inadmissibility of gaining land by military means", about "International Law" and pronounces many other high-flying words demanding Jews and Israelis to cede the land of Judea and Israel that were named so after the people who lived there for thousands years to Arabs for whom Judea and Israel all of a sudden became the "motherland" (who can explain to me, what Arabia is then?)

Whom did Israel gain its independence from?
Answer 1PalestineAnswer 2Israel gained its independence from the UNITED KINGDOM.Israel was previously the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE, which was a territory in the Middle East under British Occupation. Contrary to the view that Israel became independent from "Palestine", the territory was not an autonomous country or region called Palestine prior to independence. To say this would be as absurd as saying that the United States gained independence from the Native Americans instead of saying that it got independence from Great Britain.
